OMG I am soooo happy you are back! I even deleted your blog from my list because I literally thought you weren't going to write anymore (it made me sad). But I am putting it back on my favorites' list. It sounds like you had a tough time in the last year or so. I have been having a lot of pain ever since I had those hernia and appendix surgeries in Brazil. I keep going to doctors and they can't figer it out. I am just going nuts with this stupid persistent pain in my bowels. Sucks. I just want to know what it is, you know. But anyway... I have been writing in portuguese, it's a lot easier. But I will try to keep you posted in english... let's see:

- you saw I got my citizenship (thank you for the comment anyway)- I am still struggling with school, still taking pre-requisites for the dental hygiene program, but they never seem to end. - Bryan and I are thinking about having kids, we are ready to be parents, but we do not want to start trying until I am done with school, which could take years;- Bryan lost his job also (at least 2 times in the past 2 years), we got really tight with money, but thank goodness he got another one (doesn't pay much, but it's a job!)- We had a couple of friend over for 2 months, she's Brazilian, her husband American, it was fun! They moved from Louisiana here and just bought a house. They stayed with us until they closed the deal. Now we have friends around... finally, took me 5 years!

Well. I guess this is it... I will be coming back, for sure. Please, keep writing!
